Before setting up FBA in Jazva, you’ll need to set up FBA through Amazon Seller Central. An FBA external facility is created automatically when you add an Amazon FBA channel. This is a virtual warehouse and is used to transfer inventory between your physical warehouses and Amazon’s warehouses where your FBA orders will be fulfilled directly by Amazon.

Products to be transferred/shipped have to be ones that are published on Amazon as an FBA listing, because it has to be assigned an FNSKU number. Otherwise, it will fail.

Creating a New Amazon FBA Channel in Jazva

1. From the main menu, go to Setup and select Channels.

2. From the Marketplace section, click the + icon and select Fulfillment by Amazon from the list of channels.

3. Complete the required fields and options for Channel Config:

Channel Name – give your channel a name.

Channel Code – give your channel a code.

Use Channels Credentials - This option lets you use credentials from an existing Amazon channel in Jazva.

Click Add new Amazon channel credentials if you have the Marketplace ID, Seller ID and MWS Auth Token available.

Registered Parameter – if applicable, this setting is populated based on your Amazon UPC exemption.

Fulfillment Latency - Set a number of days (1-30) between the order date and the actual ship date to allow lead time to ship. This lets Amazon and your customers know exactly how many days it will take before the order will be shipped.

Parent Web Channel – sets a channel to be the basis of default settings of the Amazon FBA channel.

Import Orders - set how Jazva should retrieve orders from eBay.

Process Orders From - set a date from which orders should be imported.

Last Order Sync Date - Jazva will pull order data from all orders from after this date.

Maximum Inventory – sets a maximum monetary amount of inventory to be published to the channel per SKU. (may not be applicable for Amazon, can be left blank).

Maximum Inventory Count – sets a maximum unit amount of inventory to be published to the channel.

Channel Merging Priority - This setting applies only when merging products from two or more channels. Enter a number to define the priority of this channel when merging products. The higher the number, the higher the chance that products from this channel will be selected as the main product when merging.

Publish Listings - select how you would like Jazva to publish and update your listings. This option will not affect inventory updates.

Image Option - sets a default size to the images published on the channel.

Sand Box - sets the channel on sandbox mode. You need to uncheck this box to set the channel live.

Channel Owner – sets a designated owner of the channel.

2. Click Update to save your settings.

3. Switch to the Profile tab and complete or update the pertinent contact and return address information. You do not have to select any shipping carriers.

4. Go back to the Setup tab and click Activate.

FBA Test Run

Once you have set up Amazon FBA as a channel, you will need to set up products to be published on Amazon FBA. We recommend you first try to publish a few products to ensure that everything is sending correctly.

1. First, you’ll need to create a category for your Amazon FBA products. From the main menu, go to Products and select Categories. This will help you publish just a few products rather than an entire existing category.

2. Scroll down to Category Mappings and click the Edit icon on the Amazon FBA row.

3. Type in the relevant category name in the Category field and select it from the autocomplete results. The Remote ID will be populated automatically. Click Save.

4. Under Published to Channels, click +Add and select the Amazon FBA channel that you recently created.

5. Select the Amazon Department of your seller account in the Remote ID drop-down menu. The remote id is the main department you sell on.

6. After setting up your FBA category, you will now need to add the category to the products you want to transfer. You can use Product Search to locate them.

Your products will now be published on Amazon FBA. The next step after your products have been published to Amazon FBA is to create a shipment. To do this, you can either create the shipment in Amazon or in Jazva. Both will sync correctly in Jazva.

To create the shipment in Jazva, follow these steps:

1. From the main menu, navigate to Inventory > Shipments and select Transfers.

2. You will see your Amazon FBA warehouse under the To Facilities section.

3. Click Create Shipment from one of your facilities to the Amazon FBA warehouse.

4. Add your products and click Submit to Amazon.

Once your shipment has been received by Amazon, your Amazon FBA listings will then be active with inventory. All orders will sync in Jazva as they would for any other channel.
